Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018069193A1] Disclosed is a system and a method for stud fixation with the aid of mechanical vibration energy which is applied to the stud and which is used for local liquefaction or at least plastification of a material which is based on a thermoplastic polymer and which is comprised by the stud (at least distal stud end) and/or by the object (at least in a fixation location), wherein simultaneously the distal stud end is pressed against the fixation location of the object. Depending on the material pairing of stud (distal stud end) and object (fixation location), this results, on re-solidification of the liquefied or plasticized material, in an embedding of the distal stud end in the object (e.g. positive fit connection), in a welded connection between the distal stud end and the object, or in a local penetration of stud material into the object (e.g. positive fit connection). System and method are in particular applicable for fixing studs to a thin-walled duct of a polymeric material, the fixed studs being suitable for securing insulation matting to the duct.
